Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D (H Spec) & Nendoroid Petite Ankou Team

Today’s main feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D (H Spec) & Nendoroid Petite Ankou Team

From the popular anime series ‘Girls und Panzer’ comes another version of the ‘Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D’, this time with the H-Model specifications! Just like the previous version, the tank has been carefully shrunk down to Nendoroid size, keeping the finer details while adding a cute size to the design!
This time around, Nendoroid Petite figures of the five members of the Ankou team are included as a set with the tank! Miho Nishizumi, Yukari Akiyama, Saori Takebe, Hana Isuzu and Mako Reizei are all included and can even be displayed riding in the tank together!

* This product will first be sold at the Ankou Festival, thereafter limited stock will be available at the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP.
* The pullback motor included on the original Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D is NOT a part of this product.

Panzer Vor!!!

The H-spec model of the Panzer IV Ausf. D that saw various battles against Kuromorimine Girls High School! It’s also nicely visible on the key visual used for the upcoming ‘Girls und Panzer der Film’ which starts on the 21st November!

⇒ Girls und Panzer der Film Official Site

This item might look quite similar to the previously released Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D, but the colors and various parts of the armor are all different!


Nendoroid More: Panzer IV Ausf. D Released in December 2014.

The difference of the cannon and the front armor – all the large and small changes for the H-Spec have been carefully included on this version!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ You can even see the two layers of Ankou team markings!

Even in Nendoroid petite size, the mechanical feeling and heavy appearance of the tank cannot be denied!!

△ Enjoy both the cuteness of the chibi design and the epicness of the tank!

Plus the turret can even be moved around!!

Not only does the turret battery move from left to right, but the actual turret also moves up and down! Recreate your favorite battles from the series!!

△ A quick GIF with three photos!
With a little more skill in Photoshop this could even be a shooting animation!

Even without the characters, playing with the tank is a whole lot of fun!!

△ Seeing the figure makes me look forward to the movie even more! ♡

Unlike the previously released Nendoroid More Panzer tank, the H-Spec doesn’t have the wind-up feature the original had, but instead it is being sold as a set that includes all five members of the Ankou team – as you may have deduced from the product name!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ


▲ Saori Takebe, Miho Nishizumi, Hana Isuzu

▼Yukari Akiyama, Mako Reizei

These Nendoroid Petites are exactly the same as the ‘Nendoroid Petite: Girls und Panzer’ set released in September 2014!

As before, they can also ride in the tank!! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！

△ Saorin is looking right at the camera!! ★

Each of the tanks hatches can be opened out, and then the Nendoroid bodies connect directly onto the tank to make it appear like their legs are inside!

△ Riding into battle!
ENTER, ENTER, MISSION!! ♪

As they are all sold as a set, the packaging is on the larger side! (/ω＼)

△ Simple design, but the green brings out the ‘Army’ feeling!

Enjoy the Ankou team together with their tank!

Nendoroid Nozomi Moritomo

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My body is about to give in due to hay fever… I need… more… moisturised tissues!! Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Nozomi Moritomo!★ 

From the anime series ‘The Rolling Girls’ comes a Nendoroid of Nozomi Moritomo! She comes with both a standard smiling expression as well as the expression she makes after drinking some Cheerio – a bottle of Cheerio is also included for her to hold!

Additionally, the red motorbike and sidecar which play an important role in the series are also included, and you can even place another Nendoroid to ride alongside her in the sidecar!

*Please note that not all Nendoroids will fit in the sidecar.

The newest trainee of the Hiyoshi Town Propellers, Nozomi Morimoto is joining the Nendoroids! (´□｀。)

A Nendoroid from WIT STUDIO’s first ever original TV anime series, ‘The Rolling Girls’! Here is a quick summary stolen from the official English steams…

“In the wake of the Great Tokyo War, Japan, as the world once knew it, no longer exists. What remains is a fragmented network of independent nations ruled by heroes known as Bests. Each Best commands an army made of the Rest as they seek to conquer anyone in their path. Enter Nozomi, Yukina, Ai, and Chiaya. These four intrepid and adorable girls are ordered by their Best to travel across the country by motorcycle, keeping a watchful eye on the field of battle wherever they encounter violence between warring nations!”

Speaking of motorcycles… that’s what really makes this Nendoroid amazing!!

The red motorbike and sidecar!!

Nozomi’s beloved bike that was used by her neighbour, Masami Utoku before she was injured! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Even though the bike has been shrunk down to Nendoroid size, all the details that make the bike what it is have been faithfully included on the design. The different textures from the glossy and metallic paints also give it a nice authentic feeling as well! 

△ It looks both mechanical and a bit toy-like, which is rather cute! ♪

Of course Nozomi herself is also lovely and detailed! (σ・∀・)σ

Her bouncy hair, the goggles around her neck, the stitching on the hem of her one-piece dress, the boots with little belts attached to them… and then that adorable smile to top it all off!! She’s so very cute!! _(┐「ε:)_?

The little tied up part at the end of her hair is even fitted with a Nendoroid joint allowing you to match it up with your poses!


△ You can even give it a dynamic look as if blowing in the wind! ♪

Let’s move on to her alternate expression…

The expression she made when drinking delicious Cheerio!!

Plus she also of course comes with a bottle of Cheerio to hold!!

This means you can recreate the scene from inside the Moritomo store!! ☆

But she also comes with another rather important part…

Head parts with a helmet attached!!

Be sure to wear a helmet whenever riding a motorbike!! Seen she comes with a helmet that must also mean that…

She can ride the motorbike! (●´ω｀●)

She comes with a special lower body part as well as gloved hands that allow you to really pose her as if riding along the roads! Her hair with the helmet is no longer tied up, so you can really imagine the wind blowing her hair out as she rides along! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

△ She really looks like she is driving!

The sidecar also has a little secret!! ♪

The sidecar comes with two poles of different sizes!

These are placed in the hole where the seat of the sidecar is, and voila!

You can connect a Nendoroid body to the pole!!

In other words, the bike can be displayed with both a driver and a passenger!! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

The body connector of Nendoroids varies slightly in size, so you’ll have to play around a bit to decide which one suits the character you want to use best! This time I decided to use Kaga… mainly because her hand that pulls back her bow also kind of looks like a hand that’s pointing somewhere as they drive along! ☆

* Characters with long hair or other parts that get in the way may not be able to ride!

You can also use her alternate expression like this… 

Driving full speed!!


△ One of those expressions that can be used for all sorts of things! ♥︎

Go on a world reformation trip with Nozomi, bike and all!

Nendoroid Nozomi Moritomo!

She will be up for preorder from the 2nd November!

Please see the Good Smile Company website for more details!! ♪

Tsurumaru Kuninaga

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

My best kind of daifuku are mame daifuku! There was a store in Kyoto that made the most delicious and beautiful looking mame daifuku… I really feel like one right now!!

Thanks to everyone who tuned into the live broadcast! Today I’m going to be taking a look at Orange Rouge’s latest Touken Ranbu figure…

Tsurumaru Kuninaga!

From the popular browser game ‘Touken Ranbu -ONLINE-‘ comes a 1/8th scale figure of Tsurumaru Kuninaga sculpted in his standard pose faithful to the original illustration.The elegant appearance of his stance, intricate scabbard and beautiful white outfit with various layers, highlights and shadows all come together to give fans Tsurumaru’s charm in a way that only a figure can provide. Be sure to add him to your collection!

The famous long sword forged by Gojou Kuninaga in the Heian era has been transformed into a scale figure! Tsurumaru Kuninaga!

△ Even though it’s a rather still pose, it is filled with life!

The photos from here onward were taken by me in the GSC offices! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ


△ The first two photos were release photos taken by a professional!
*The difference in lighting causes a bit of difference in the colors.

The white outfit in the image of a crane together with the elegant golden accessories that line it are all such a pleasure to look at! The fluttering appearance of the outfit also gives a gentle look to him, yet his ready for battle pose as a sword ready for battle shows his powerful will as well – I really think the sculpt captures his presence nicely! (/ω＼)

This is how he looks from the back!

His hood looks so soft!!

I could hardly resist trying to put my fingers side his hood!! The hemming and creases along the fabric are so beautifully sculpted!! The golden chain that comes from his chest and ties around at his back also adds a bit if contrast and dynamic feel to the figure. It makes me picture him slowly stepping forward as those two ends shake with the movement.

His sword is also lined with intricate golden ornaments! 

The way gravity is pulling down on the chains and tassels together with the detail of the accessories and ornaments brings such an amazing appearance! While the sword looks beautiful you can just imagine how heavy the actual weapon is on the inside! ♪

The deceptively long hair has also been sculpted to look so soft and has a slightly grey tint yo it to give a slightly warmer feeling when compared to the outfit! ε=(｡・д・｡)

Plus while his outfit is mostly white, the use of shadows effectively shows the various layers of his outfit! Another thing to note is that the outer jacket has an ever so slight pearl paint used on it! It’s unfortunately rather difficult to tell from the photos though!! If you happen to be coming to AGF next week then you will be able to come and take a look at the lovely paintwork in person!!

Anyway, there are three main points that I want to introduce to everyone today! ☆

1) Sculpting of Ornaments

I mentioned the details of the ornaments on the sword a little bit back, but there is much more than just that! In particular I want to point out the pleats of his tassets as well as his lovely feet!!  ₍₍ ◝(‘ω’◝) ⁾⁾ ₍₍ (◟’ω’)◟ ⁾⁾

The pleated armor along his flanks not only looks beautiful, but also is sure to keep Tsurumaru safe in battle! Both the back and underside of his feet are also all sculpted in full detail for fans to enjoy as well! No matter where you choose to look from Tsurumaru is a work of art! ♥︎

 

– Physique –

Most importantly… those fingers!! (´□｀｡)

Whilst they are rather graceful and elegant in their positioning, the bumps along the hand have a definite masculine appearance to them! I’m not quite sure what it is – perhaps a slightly more muscular look? But they definitely are the hands of a man!

I think the area that really does it best for me is the rounded bony part on the pinky side of his wrists! Definitely not an area that has much attention given to it on female figures… but the hard-to-notice details like that are the ones that I really love to see, and hope that everyone looks out for them with me!!  (*´Д｀)=з

 

– Expression –

While Tsurumaru has a very gentle smiling expression, there is definitely something more complicated about his expression here.

But if you match eyes with his downward gaze…

The expression has a rather different impression!

It’s more like a smile of confidence now! Like someone who knows their victory is certain! I decided to ask the sculptor of the figure Nanako-san about the expression!  (/ω＼)

“Depending on the angle you look at him, Tsurumaru’s expression can look anything from calm and composed to something much more belligerent – at least that that was how I felt, and so I tried to interpret that into the sculpting of the figure as well!” 

So it was a planned effect all along!
As expected of Nanako-san!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Be sure to find the angle that you like best once you’ve added him to your collection! ♪

△ I think I like this angle best! He looks quite cheerful here!

Bring a new surprise home to your headquarters!

Tsurumaru Kuninaga!

He will be up for preorder from tomorrow!

Preorders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a Tsurumaru Kuninaga Sword Charm as a bonus!♪

Be sure to keep it in mind when preordering! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Signum: Swimsuit Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I can never seem to communicate what I want whenever I go to a hairdresser. I wish I could describe what I wanted better… ( ˘•ω•˘ )

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this item from Gift!

Signum: Swimsuit Ver.★

>From ‘Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE 2nd A’s’ comes a figure of Signum in a sexy bikini! Be sure to display her with the previously released Nanoha Takamachi: Swimsuit Ver., Fate Testarossa: Swimsuit Ver., Hayate Yagami: Swimsuit Ver. and Vita: Swimsuit Ver.!

The ‘General of the Raging Fire’ and ‘Knight of the Sword’ as she was known in her Wolkenritter past, the lovely Signum is wearing a rather sexy bikini which makes those names seem rather out of place! ♪

This is an impressive 1/4th scale figure of Signum, and seen she is also quite a tall character this leads to the figure standing approximately 380mm in height! It would be hard to not notice her in any collection! The swimsuit has a purple tone to it which matches up with the light that comes when she uses magic!

As you can see, there is also a lot of bare skin to enjoy too! (´□｀｡)

The curves of her shoulder blades as well as the line from her thighs to her bottom are lovely! As usual the area behind her knees as well as her ankles are also great! The use of various different shades and shadows really brings the figure to life!

I did test and touched for myself, but contrary to the soft appearance the figure was quite hard like most other figures! How can something so soft and bouncy looking still be made from a hard material…


△ I almost forgot this was a figure while I was taking these photos… (*´Д｀)=з

Another part to notice is down at her feet! Each and every one of her fingers and toes have been beautifully sculpted!★

△ The sandals match up with the swimsuit nicely! ♪

Her long ponytail is tied up tightly with a yellow ribbon, and the braiding along either side is also beautifully included on the figure! ♡

△ Her ears are also really detailed when you look up close!

This is actually a part of a long series of figures from the Nanoha movies! ♪

Nanoha Takamachi: Swimsuit Ver.

△ Released in August 2012

Fate Testarossa: Swimsuit Ver.


△ Released in June 2012

Hayate Yagami: Swimsuit Ver.

△ Released in December 2012

Vita: Swimsuit Ver.

△ Released in June 2015

The designs of the swimsuits as well as the poses really match with each character’s personality so nicely!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

Anyway, let’s get back to Signum! As the series has progressed the age of the characters has also increased, and now that we have reached Signum you can see how the curves of an adult look in a sexy swimsuit!

The halterneck top and V-shaped bottoms only make for a rather assertive look too!

While the top covers up more skin that a standard bikini, the space that is left open in the middle to show her cleavage makes it seem even sexier to me!!

The expression on her face is also filled with confidence, as if she knows just how sexy she is – not that she’ll admit anything! (●´ω｀●)


△ The composed smile really suits her nicely! ☆

Another area that should not be left out…!

I can’t say anything too loud, but… look at that crease!! (/ω＼) Even as a rather large figure, the smaller details have certainly not been left out! ♡

Be sure to add the sexy knight to your collection! ♪

Signum: Swimsuit Ver.!

She is currently up for preorder!

Saber Bride

Today’s main feature…!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at the 1/7th scale…

Saber Bride!

From the popular game ‘Fate/EXTRA CCC’ comes a 1/7th scale figure of Saber Bride – Saber wearing the ‘Bridal Gown of Restraint’. She is posed with Aestus Estus in hand, ready to confront her enemies in battle while still showing off her curvaceous figure.

The sculpt is filled with all sorts of highlights such as the resolute facial expression, the skirt fluttering in the wind around her and the tight wedding outfit that shows off her beautiful curves. The intricate details on the outfits accessories and paintwork also all come together to create a figure overflowing with Saber’s beauty for fans to enjoy in their collection.

The empress adorned in her bridal gown!

The young female knight, dressed up in wedding attire as ‘Saber Bride’ has been transformed into an exquisite 1/7th scale figure! The contrast between the graceful white lace and the rough restrained appearance of the chains, locks, zips and belts makes for a kind of unbalanced look that has such a mystical charm about it!

Plus to top off the outfit we have this expression!!

Such is the beauty of a flower on the battlefield!

The unwavering will in her eyes together with the tightly closed mouth… the expression captures her confidence as a warrior but still also has an elegant, ladylike appeal to it that is such a pleasure to look at!

This is how she looks from the back!

Note Saber’s characteristic strand of hair that sticks out on the top of her head! Not to mention the large veil blowing out to the side! Another thing I love is that even though the outfit shows very little bare skin, you can still make out the shape of her legs and how soft they look thanks to the tight outfit…

It’s one of those figures that looks quite simple at first, but actually has an incredible amount to notice when you take a nice long look at it!

In her hands she holds Aestus Estus! 

Not only is the size impressive, but it also looks sharp and heavy too!

The fact that the sword extends well past her base makes you really get a good feeling for how large the sword is!

The pose overall has low centre of gravity as she grips the sword down quite low, which gives a rather still appearance to the figure, and yet…

Between the intricate lace outfit and beautiful veil, and the long dress with burnt edges and various little accessories… the ‘movement’ of the outfit adds  a much more dynamic sense to a pose that would normally be quite static!

As the wind blows across the outfit, Saber still stands firm and confident creating a mix of ‘moving’ and ‘still’ elements to the figure that really make the figure look incredible!

Plus the outfit also has very intricate creases all over! <○><○>

Look at her arms and shoulders!

You can even see crease lines on the palms of the gloves which goes to show just how tight the outfit is! As you might expect from an outfit named the ‘Bridal Gown of Restraint’. The tight feeling also continues to her bosom rather – and you can even see how soft they are by the way the arm rests at the one side of her bosom!!

Anyway, as this figure has the zip on the front done up there is not much bare skin showing… but the design of this outfit has a nice little secret on the back… which has been very faithfully preserved on the figure!!  (/ω＼)

Oooooh…. (*Admiration)

I really don’t have any words for this, but I have the strangest feeling to want to give my appreciation! Thank you!! The sculptor behind this figure is none other than YUMA (SWANBOAT no SOUZA), the same sculptor behind the previously released Ceil Alencon! (σ・∀・)σ

Ciel Alencon


△ Released in February 2015

YUMA is amazing at differentiating between textures and also sculpting curvaceous bodies that I’m sure almost anyone loves to look at! But the smaller details are also outstanding – you really need to take a look at the smaller details to really appreciate the work that has gone into this figure! Just take a nice long look at these pictures…! ♡




△ No matter what angle I look from my eyes can’t stop wandering! (´□｀｡)

It’s one of those figures that really makes it seem that Saber is right there beside you! It really brings the Fate universe to your collection!

Plus the base is made in the image of the Fate/EXTRA material artbook cover! ★


△ The Fate/EXTRA CCC is also included in a fancy silver!

She is a must-have for any Saber fans, but on top of that she is a masterpiece of sculpting that any figure fans should be proud to add to their collection!

Be sure to add the beautiful and valiant bride to your collection!

Saber Bride!

She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ♥︎

Be sure to check out the GSC site for more information tomorrow! There will also be a special site with even more details and more to enjoy! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

Plus we also have another item Fate related going up for preorder tomorrow!

Picktam! Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]

The characters of the anime series ‘Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works]’ are joining the Picktam! series of rubber straps with exchangeable expressions!

The set includes six different characters including Shirou Emiya, Saber, Rin Tohsaka, Archer, Lancer and Gilgamesh! Each character’s face part had two sides each with a different expression, allowing you to pick the one that suits your mood best each day!

A new addition to the Picktam! series!

Be sure to check them out together with Saber Bride! ♪

Kagamine Len: Tony Ver.

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I really don’t like bananas… but if you dry them or freeze them then I can still manage to eat them! Anyway, today I’ll be continuing on from yesterday’s Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver. with a look at…

Kagamine Len: Tony Ver.!★

Following on from the previously released Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka comes a 1/7th scale figure of Kagamine Len based on the illustration of him by popular illustrator Tony!The unique feeling of Tony’s illustrations has been faithfully preserved in figure form through gentle colors and translucent parts, all sculpted in intricate detail for fans to enjoy. Careful attention has been given to all aspects of the figure, including the unique appearance of her blond hair and the high-quality look of his shirt through a shiny pearl paint. Enjoy the energetic charm of this cool Kagamine Len in your collection!

Len-kun!!!! (/ω＼)

The male side of the ‘powerful and charming’ Vocaloid twins – Kagamine Len has been sculpted in Tony illustration style!! He is posed with a huge smile on his face as he points out toward the audience… this is what I call an idol!!

Just like Rin, the figure really captures the feeling of ‘movement’ really nicely, with the creases in his outfit matching the movement and his body line so effectively! Personally I also love the way his neck tie is fluttering forward!

This is how he looks from the back!

This angle gives you a good look at the collar fluttering around his neck as well as his tied back hair!

Just like Rin, the detail on Len’s hair is really quite the sight!! ♡

Each and every strand is so carefully sculpted and filled with life!

The pearl paintwork and semi-transparent parts give that amazing light shine that leaves such a strong impression! ☆

His characteristic bangs are also beautifully balanced!

Another thing I just have to point out is the way the top of his shirt is a kind of  folded outward! Take a look at the last two pictures and I think you’ll know what I mean! The little bit of extra bare skin that opens up because of that is quite important if you ask me!!!

Plus Len-kun also comes with his shoulder keyboard as an optional part!

Just look at those details!!

Each of the keys and buttons carefully sculpted and painted, and the way the black keys are raised makes it look like you could really press them in!! ♪

Just like Rin-chan, his hands also have nails painted to match his image color! ♡ 


△Made me want to compare hands! (My pinky fits almost perfectly in his hand!)

Let’s move our focus down to his legs! (●´ω｀●)

The back of his knees!!

I always love looking at the back of the knees on figures – but there is something different about it on male figures! There is a whole different charm to enjoy here – the curve that starts at the bottom of the knee and slowly bends… and the fact that you can just make out the muscles if you look quite close!!

Now let’s move back up to his face!

The bright, innocent smile of a young idol!!

Although just like Rin, Tony’s illustration does have a slightly more mature feel to it when compared to the original illustrations!  (‘-‘*)(,_,*)(‘-‘*)(,_,*)

The figure’s base is made to look like piano keys! ♪

You can combine this with Rin-chan’s base…

To create one big piano base!

It only makes sense that twin figures should be able to displayed together in style!! Although I also quite like posing them facing each other instead!!

△ “Let’s go, Len-kun!” I can just hear her in my head! ♪

△ A little peek at Len’s side through the shirt!

Posing at different angles really gets my imagination running!

Tony’s illustrations were incredible to begin with, but the back that they were able to be so well preserved in the change over to figure form is really something! The sculptor of the figure was Chieri – and what an amazing job!! These two items really show the artisans that are Max Factory!!

Add the cool and cute Vocaloid to your collection! ♥︎

Kagamine Len: Tony Ver.

He is currently up for preorder!! ★

In addition, if you order both Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver. and Kagamine Len: Tony Ver. from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP, you will get an A2 Tapestry illustrated by Tony-sensei has a bonus!! ♡

Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver.

Today’s main act!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver.!☆

Following on from the previously released Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka comes a 1/7th scale figure of Kagamine Rin based on the illustration of her by popular illustrator Tony!The unique feeling of Tony’s illustrations has been faithfully preserved in figure form through gentle colors and translucent parts, all sculpted in intricate detail for fans to enjoy. Careful attention has been given to all aspects of the figure, including the unique appearance of her blond hair and the high-quality look of her shirt through a shiny pearl paint. Enjoy the energetic charm of this adorable Kagamine Rin in your collection!

Rin-chan!! (´□｀｡)

The female side of the ‘powerful and charming’ Vocaloid twins – Kagamine Rin has been sculpted in Tony illustration style!! The combination of light colors, translucent parts and pearl paintwork really captures the beauty of Tony’s illustrations in figure form!! Such lovely detail as well!! (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞ

I wouldn’t be surprised if the figure started moving right before my eyes! She looks so alive and ready to start performing – it definitely matches up with her lively personality and voice!!

This is how she looks from the back!

Standing on her tip toes to reach as far up as possible… and look at those leg covers, the back of her knees, those lovely thighs, the large sleeve holes on her top showing off her smooth skin… not to mention her lovely spiked blond hair and the ribbon to top it all off!

Everything that makes Rin so cute has been faithfully included!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

The use of semi-transparent parts and pearl paintwork on the hair also gives it an amazing level of detail! ♡

△ A nice rendition of  Tony’s unique touch! ♪

In her hand she holds a mike, ready to let the world hear her voice!

You can also see even her nails are painted to match her image color! Not only that but the shape of the fingers and hand looks fantastic! ☆

By the way, this is actually the third Vocaloid figure made by Max Factory based on Tony’s artwork! The past two were released quite awhile back!

Hatsune Miku: Tony ver.

△ Released March 2011

 

Megurine Luka: Tony ver.

△ Released July 2012

The Tony figures really have such a unique feel to them, just like his illustrations! ♡ Anyway, let’s get back to Rin-chan! (●´ω｀●)

She looks like she is in the middle of an amazing stage thanks to the energetic pose on one leg with one arm up in the air!!  The way the outfit and body are sculpted to match up with the movement is something that people often overlook on figures, but you can really see it beautifully on this figure! Take a closer look at the creases all over her outfit, or…

The sailor collar and belt accessory!

How about the way her top is pulled up a bit due to her raised arm! 

Or the fluttering of the ribbon on her chest!


△ The bunched-up feel of the leg covers are also great!

The creases in her shorts are also amazing, and the contrast between the black shorts and the lovely pale skin of her stomach and thighs is beautiful!!

Her facial expression keeps that lively feeling of the figure, but it also has a bit of a mature, almost sultry charm to it! (/ω＼)


△ You happened to meet eyes with her during the performance!

The figure is really so fascinating for me to look at that it’s hard to put into words!! 

The figure has been sculpted by Max Factory’s Chieri-san, the same sculptor behind the previous two figures in the series!! The whole figure is best described as overflowing with life… I really wish you could come and see the real thing for yourselves!! ♡

Her base is made in the shape of some piano keys!

△ Rin-chan stands on the one key that is down! ★

Her twin’s figure comes with a similar base, and the two of them can be connected together like so!

Even the base alone is amazing!!

It really brings out the musical world of the Vocaloids! ♡
It also really makes me want to display them together!! (*´Д｀)=з

But I have some good news for everyone who wants to do that…

Kagamine Len: Tony Ver. will be up for preorder at the same time!

I’ll be taking a more in-depth look at Len on tomorrow’s blog!٩( ᐛ )人( ᐖ )۶

Enjoy a slightly more mature, but still adorable Rin-chan by your side!

Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver.

 


She will be up for preorder from tomorrow! ★
Kagamine Len: Tony Ver. will also be up at the same time!

In addition, if you order both Kagamine Rin: Tony Ver. and Kagamine Len: Tony Ver. from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP, you will get an A2 Tapestry illustrated by Tony-sensei has a bonus!! ♡

△ They’re both so cute!!

Be sure to keep that in mind when preordering! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

Nendoroid Yui Funami

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

When I was in university I lived alone! Living alone really teaches you the power of the microwave!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Nendoroid Yui Funami!☆

From the anime series ‘Yuru Yuri San Hai!’ comes a Nendoroid of the boyish member of the Amusement Club known for her sharp retorts, Yui Funami! She comes with three different expressions including her standard smiling expression, an unimpressed expression to gently threaten Kyoko’s reckless side as well as an embarrassed expression that shows she can be a little bashful.

Optional parts include a book to allow her to sit back and enjoy a peaceful read, a cushion for her to hug whenever she is feeling embarrassed or scared as well as some long-sleeved parts allowing for all sorts of different scenes from the series. She also comes with special hand parts that allow you to display her holding hands with the previously released Nendoroid Kyoko Toshino! Be sure to display the two of them together!

Yui-senpai!! (●´ω｀●)

The calm and composed member of the Amusement Club Yui Funami is joining the Nendoroids! Her cute uniform, gentle eyes and a smile ready for a witty remark all look great in Nendoroid size! ♪

Her rather boyish short hair also looks lovely!! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

△ The Nanamori Middle School uniform is so adorable!

This is actually the third Nendoroid character from Yuru Yuri, following on from…

Nendoroid Akari Akaza

Nendoroid Kyoko Toshino

But anyway, getting back to Yui-senpai!

Let’s take a look at some of the optional parts she comes with! First off she comes with a book part that allows you to display her in relax made in the amusement club room!

△ Seems like a very interesting book!

Yui lives alone even as a middle school student, so I’m sure the Amusement Club is a very cosy place for her to relax with the company of the others! ♪

But if anyone interrupts her reading… she might not be too happy with them, which you can recreate using this rather unimpressed expression!

The area from her forehead down to her eyes is actually shaded a little darker to recreate that subtle angry look…! 

The best way to have her on display with the other members, so lets give it a try! (´Д｀；)


△ Kyoko’s rampage is about to come to an end…

Just like Kyoko she also comes with long-sleeve parts allowing you to display her in Winter mode as well! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ


△ The bottom of the sleeves are different parts.

All this allows you to recreate various different sides of the boyish Yui… but she also sometimes has a rather cute, more girlish side as well!!

Which is why this expression is included!

An embarrassed expression! ♥︎

In addition to the expression she also comes with parts hugging a cushion which just make the pose even more adorable!! (/ω＼)


△ Covering up the mouth makes for a slightly different look too! ♪

Plus there is still more!

She also comes with special parts for use with Nendoroid Kyoko Toshino!

Holding Hand Parts!! ★

These parts tell a story all by themselves in my head!

This allows for all sorts of different fun situations!! (σ・∀・)σ

Plus, those of you who are following the Yuru Yuri Official Twitter account (@anime_yuruyuri) will also know that Nendoroid Chinatsu Yoshikawa is also being made, included with the limited edition 6th Volume Blu-Ray of the Yuru Yuri San Hai!

In other words…

In the not too far future, Chinatsu will also join this photo!! All the Amusement Club members together!! ♪ 

△ Included with the Limited Edition Yuru Yuri San Hai Vol.6 Blu-Ray!

Look forward to her as well!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Enjoy both the cute and serious sides of her in Nendoroid size!

Nendoroid Yui Funami!

She’ll be up for preorder from tomorrow!! ♥︎

Plus orders from the GOODSMILE ONLINE SHOP will include a bonus…!

Japanese Teacup & Bonus Arm Part!

This will make it even easier for her to get into relax mode!
Be sure to consider it when preordering! (σ・∀・)σ

Getter-1

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

I’ve found that ‘onigirazu’… something like sandwiches made from rice are absolutely delicious! My favorite is with egg, cod roe and cheese!!

Anyway, today I’m going to be taking a look at this item from threezero…

Getter-1!

The third in the collaborative series between DYNAMIC PLANNING and threezero is Getter-1 from Getter Robot! threezero’s design, sculpting as well as the unique weathered and damaged paintwork brings out the powerful appearance of the Getter-1 in more detail than ever before!The model stands approximately 40.6cm in height and features over 40 points of articulation for all sorts of different posing opportunities. Getter-1 comes complete with two Getter Tomahawks for combat scenes, and he also features a cape made from fabric which can be attached or removed whenever you see fit – it is also poseable with built-in wires to make for epic poses! The model also features a light-up feature in the eyes and Getter Beam shooting port. (6x AG1 batteries sold separately)

“Change, Getter-1! Switch on!”

From ‘Getter Robot’, perhaps one of the most well-known pioneers of the transforming mecha revolution comes a very impressive figure of the Getter-1, made by threezero!!

As usual threezero have outdone themselves with the sculpt and paintwork, creating a model that really looks as if it has been through countless battles with all sorts of dents and scratches on the armor – it really brings out the harsh atmosphere of the battles it has been through! ★

△ The face part also looks much more imposing and brazen! (/ω＼)

The damaged body of the soldier is made to look even more epic with the red cape draped over his shoulders all the way down to the ground!

△ The cape can be attached and removed!

The cape has wires laid out on the inside allowing you to match the position of the cape with various poses to create a much more dynamic looking pose! It also has tears and a damaged appearance that matches up with the battle-scarred paintwork perfectly! (｀・ω・´)ゞ


△ Not only little tears, but also dirty marks! As you’d expect from battle!

Additionally, the figure also has light-up effects, but unfortunately I was unable to show them while I was taking photos!

The ‘Getter Beam’ areas on the eyes and stomach light-up!

△ I’d love to take photos in a dark room with the light-up effects!

Optional parts are also included…

Two Getter Tomahawks!!

The fingers are very finely articulated allowing you to easily pose him holding them just like above! (●´ω｀●)

But even alone they have a rather impressive appearance!

△ The heavy, well-used appearance shows they have been used in many a battle.

As I mentioned the fingers are articulated enough to allow them to hold the tomahawks as above, but the Getter-1 is much more articulated than just that! The figure features over 40 points of articulation!! Σ(･ω･ﾉ)ﾉ！


△ Each finger as three movable joints! threezero’s attention to detail!

This might be taking things a teeny bit too far…
but you can even make poses like this! (σ・∀・)σ 


△ The shoulders are easily movable into an idol-like pose!

But it’s not just his fingers and shoulders – his knees and hips are also very mobile allowing for the kind of epic poses you’d expect from an action figure!



△ The toes are separately articulated to stand ready for action like this!

If you really feel like it, and are good with balance…
You can even make rather human-like poses! ε=(｡・д・｡)


△ Taking a little break sitting on the edge of a table.

Another thing to note is the size of the figure! I almost can’t help but want to go out on a walk hand-in-hand! He stands over 400mm in height!!

△ You can also easily pose him standing on his own – no stand required! ♥︎

My photos are perhaps a bit silly compared to what you expect from Getter-1… but you can find much more stylish poses over on the product page!★

Today’s main feature!

Hello everyone, Kahotan here! (@gsc_kahotan)

Today I’m going to be taking a look at…

Erina Nakiri!!♥︎

From the anime series ‘Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma’ comes a long-awaited scale figure of “God’s Tongue” Erina Nakiri! The figure is based on the reaction scene to Erina’s Eggs Benedict during the breakfast buffet challenge of Toutsuki Culinary Academy’s ‘Hell Training Camp’.Erina is posed seated on a carefully detailed throne wearing a very noble looking outfit, as she looks ahead with complete confidence. Her soft skin and alluring pose are sure to make fans fall into servility! A special base made in the image of the scene is also included to bring out the atmosphere even more. An optional translucent hand part is also included to pose her foot being held up just as in the series. Be sure to display her up high and swear your service to the noble Erina!

Oooooohhh!! (´□｀｡)

The Toutsuki Culinary Academy High School 1st year said to become the greatest masterpiece since the founding of the academy – the “God’s Tongue” Erina Nakiri as a 1/8th scale figure!! ♥︎

Some of you may have already seen her little feature in the Weekly Shounen JUMP magazine that went on sale today!! ♪

Her beautiful long blond hair and stunning eyes, not to mention those incredible curves…

Also note the amount of detail put into each of the creases and frills of her dress!!

If I didn’t know better I would almost be certain that the outfit was made from fabric! Also take note of the little details such as the area around her belly button, or the intricate fingers wearing long gloves!! (●´ω｀●)

Plus if the beautiful figure itself wasn’t enough, just look around her…

She sits upon a magnificent throne worthy of only the most noble!This is of course because her cooking will cause anyone to fall into servility! The pose and the throne give her such a powerful aura!! Even from the back the details on the throne are gorgeous!

The figure captures that line between the petty commoners and the elite Erina so beautifully!

Those red and gold colors match each other so nicely!! The base also comes with a special base to place the throne upon in order to have Erina ‘looking down’ on all those below her!! It’s perfect!! ♪

The appearance of the cushion on the throne makes it would look so soft and comfy to sit on!! Note the buttons on the back to give an even more noble appearance! A throne fit for a queen! (*´Д｀)=з

The figure is based on the reaction scene to Erina’s Eggs Benedict during the breakfast buffet challenge of Toutsuki Culinary Academy’s ‘Hell Training Camp’!! Eating her delicious meal caused the diner to wish to swear servitude to her more than anything else! ヽ(*・ω・)人(・ω・*)ノ

In order to recreate that image even further, a transparent hand part is also included to hold her foot up!

My placing this part on the bottom of her shoe…

You can just imagine someone swearing loyalty with a kiss to the foot!

Nothing is more convincing than a kiss to the foot to declare your fealty to the beauty that is Erina Nakiri!


△ I quite recommend looking up to her from a lower angle!

A confident smile, relaxed pose, not to mention a rather revealing outfit…

…and yet she still looks so very dignified!! 

Be sure to display her up high and declare your servility as you enjoy her endless charm!!

The 1/8th scale…

Erina Nakiri!

She’ll be up for preorder tomorrow!

Check the product page over on the Good Smile Company website for more information tomorrow! (｀・ω・´)ゞ

♥︎ Today’s Date ♥︎

I went on a date to Ookunoshima together with Umaru-chan. The rabbits were very interested in the first Nendoroid that they’ve (probably) ever seen!
